“everything must change. RIS9″
9th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art

 

Visit the 9th Thessaloniki Biennale and discover the works of Dionisis Kavallieratos. The artist presents a universe of installations, ceramic sculptures, drawings, and the film The Chivalrous Quest, a soft satirical knight drama that serves as a metaphor for the vanity of life across past, present, and future.

 

“The work reflects on the absurdity that has become a prevailing norm, an allegory on the mislead- leading stupidity that condemns history into repetition. It adresses the illusion of democracy, the fragile balances between imbalanced powers and the elite’s greed that brings war, genocide and destruction. It speaks about the very few that live on the expence of the too many and the too many who remain asleep. Ultimately, it evokes the orchestrated deadlock of the global human condition, and an ever-acumulating suffocation with no end in sight.”
